More than 1,000 Hungarian teachers have resigned after refusing to abide by a new law that educators see as a crackdown on their profession following years of anti-government protests.
There were 1,205 teachers who submitted their resignations in a two-week notice period available to them during the second half of September, Interior Ministry State Secretary Bence Retvari said, according to the transcript of an interview published Thursday in Magyar Nemzet newspaper.
